Concrete & Asphalt Demolition in Toronto

Concrete & Asphalt Demolition in Ontario

Concrete and asphalt demolition covers breaking out and hauling away driveways, walkways, patios, parking lots, curbs, slabs, foundations, and pool decks. It's usually the first step before a repour, a landscaping job, or an addition, and it comes with its own set of headaches: dust and noise limits under Toronto bylaws, disposal fees at aggregate recycling yards, and utility locates before anything gets jackhammered. On a typical residential driveway or backyard slab, crews use hydraulic breakers, mini excavators, or skid steers with breaker attachments; larger commercial lots may need full-size excavators and dump trucks staged for hauling. Rebar-reinforced slabs and thicker structural concrete take longer and cost more to break and remove than plain asphalt.

Before hiring, ask how the contractor prices the job (flat rate vs. per square foot vs. tonnage for disposal), whether the quote includes hauling and dump fees or just the breaking, and who is responsible for calling in utility locates. Get confirmation of insurance and WSIB coverage, since demolition carries real risk of property damage to fences, gas lines, or neighboring structures. Ask about dust control and noise timing too, since many Toronto neighborhoods have bylaw restrictions on early-morning or weekend work.

PRO Basement - Lowering Underpinning & Waterproofing Toronto

5.0(24)✓ Google-verified

All 18 reviewers gave five stars. The consistent thread: PRO Basement handles complex basement lowering and waterproofing projects with care. They explain each step in advance, arrive on schedule, clean up daily, and manage city permits and inspections without burdening homeowners. Slava and Igor are named repeatedly for their planning and execution. Reviewers highlight the team's ability to adapt to old foundations, manage groundwater issues, and relocate furnaces and utilities. Results are dry basements, usable headroom (often raising 6'2" to 8'4"), and peace of mind from waterproofing. Site discipline and communication stand out across projects ranging from old Toronto houses to complicated underpinning work. The work is concrete: basement lowering, underpinning, waterproofing inside and out, weeping tile replacement, sump pump and backwater valve install, floor drains, walkout basement creation, and furnace relocation. Several reviewers note they wish they had hired them years earlier. None report delays, budget surprises, unnecessary upselling, or poor workmanship.

Five-star reviews span a decade of foundation work, site clearing, and emergency demolition, praising punctuality and honest pricing. However, recent one-star reviews from subcontractors detail unpaid invoices and failed project coordination, particularly a basement-pouring incident where poor site prep led to 8 cancelled concrete trucks and back-charges.

Common questions about concrete & asphalt demolition

How much does concrete or asphalt demolition cost in Toronto?
Residential jobs like a driveway or patio removal are commonly priced by the square foot or as a flat rate, with cost driven by slab thickness, whether rebar or mesh reinforcement is present, and how far the debris has to be hauled to a disposal or recycling yard. Get at least two or three quotes since disposal fees and access to the site (tight laneways, fences to remove) can swing the price a lot.
How long does a typical demolition job take?
A standard residential driveway or patio can often be broken out and hauled away in a day or two. Larger lots, thick structural slabs, or jobs requiring a repour scheduled right after demolition can take longer, and permit or utility locate timing can add days before work even starts.
Does the contractor handle debris disposal, or is that separate?
This varies by contractor, so confirm it up front. Some price haul-away and dump fees into the quote, others bill disposal separately by weight or by the load, and a few will leave broken material on-site for the customer to arrange removal.
What should I check to judge whether a demolition contractor did quality work?
Look for a clean break line with no cracking beyond the marked area, proper backfill and compaction if the space isn't being repoured right away, and no damage to adjacent structures, irrigation lines, or utilities. A good contractor also leaves the site graded and swept, not just broken up and abandoned.
